Permissions Clearance

Do you need to source content from a third party for your next project? Whether text, photographs, art, film, or music, Gryphon Publishing Consulting will do the research to find the correct rights holder, negotiate the terms for the rights you need, and secure the paperwork for your records.

Although we cannot control the response of rights holders, you can rest assured that our permissions experts will do all that we can to make sure you obtain the permissions you need for the content you want. Let us help you get what you need for your next project!

Outbound Permissions & Rights Management

Not sure what to do when someone asks to re-use your intellectual property? Are you concerned that an offer is too good to be true? Let Gryphon Publishing Consulting review the offer, vet potential licensees, and negotiate the proper contracts on your behalf so that you can continue doing what you do best: creating content!

Subsidiary Rights & Licensing

Do you want to extend your content into new formats but don't have the time or revenue to create them on your own? Do you want to create ancillary income streams through subsidiary rights or foreign translation rights but don't know where to begin?

Gryphon Publishing Consulting is NOT a literary agent, but if you put our more than 25 years of experience in subsidiary rights to work for you, your intellectual property and content may find "legs" in alternate formats with just the right partners. You just collect the royalties: we'll do the rest!

Education

Confused about copyright?  Puzzled by permissions? Do you want to increase your knowledge of the "rights" side of your intellectual property and content?

Gryphon Publishing Consulting can educate you and your staff on copyright basics as well as answer your basic questions about how best to protect your intellectual property.

Contract Review

Whether it's a new author agreement, a foreign rights license, permission contract, or subsidiary rights license, Gryphon Publishing Consulting is here to help you know what these agreements say.

Although we are not attorneys, our more than 25 years of experience in the publishing and photo industries mean that we know how to read these contracts and can help explain the legalese in simple terms. We are also happy to refer you to a copyright attorney if you would like one, or if we feel you would benefit from working with legal counsel on your case.

Fair Use Content Review

Have you written the next best nonfiction book but you're unsure if the content you included needs permission? Do you have questions about your content that you'd feel better talking to one of our experts before "releasing it" out into the world?

Protect yourself from potential copyright infringement and let Gryphon Publishing Consulting review your content and know before you publish whether you will need permission for anything in your publication.
